In a race, it is when the goal is in sight that the heart and nerves and muscles and courage are strained almost to the breaking point. So with us. The goal of the spiritual life is in sight. All we need is the final effort. The saddest records are made by people who ran well with brave, stout hearts until the sight of the goal, and then some weakeness or self-indulgence held them back. They never knew how near the goal they were or how near they were to victory.
